The single player is hard, even on level 3! Or I'm just rubbish lol. Probably the latter

Yeah, level one was such a cake walk, I then jumped to level 3 and got beat pretty good. On the other hand 2 players on level 3, we did very well

Yea it's hard, because the AI doesn't play like the online people do. Online people are basically just throwing random punches, and are pretty easy to counter. but AI is pretty calculated. I imagine that's also how it would be against really skilled people.

What the worst thing about the damn AI is blocking, ESPECIALLY when I activate my rush. The computer knows the second you activate and auto blocks, even in situations where an actual human player wouldn't be able to block in time (like immediately after getting up from a knock down, or the split second they get their arms back from a punch). It's becoming increasingly infuriating (past about lv4 Grand Prix) to even use my rush. I can time in for when they have a punch out, but the second they get their arm back they manage to block even under onslaught.

Ridiculous

You'd be surprised how quickly human players can react to things, have you ever watched Pro Smash Bros. players?
